Welcome to our blog, "One Egg Short of a Dozen 2". With eleven people in this family the title of the blog is obvious.
Some people may say we are "one egg short of a dozen" for having this many kids! Well, we just might be a bunch of cracked eggs who fell off a wall but we have fun and call ourselves a FAMILY. Join us on the adventures that we seem to fall into on our adoption journeys and family life! You never know what concoction this carton of eggs will come up with.
I made a video for the kids graduation service as a surprise. I wanted to celebrate their lives as they have come such a long way to this day. Here's to you, Seora, Maggie, Ben, And Nathaniel.
I've attached the flyer for the July 4th dessert fundraiser for Maggie and Seora's mission trip to Thailand. Give me a call or email if you would like to order. Please feel free to pass it on to others. Thanks so much. If you don't live locally, I apologize for tempting you. :) Melissa Carter
Hi friends and family! Life is definitely busy around here. Besides breaking my foot, taking 4 teenagers to test for their learner's license, 2 washers and a fridge going out and preparations for the kids' graduation and working on the girls stuff to get ready for Thailand, life remains normal! LOL While tying up all my loose ends on paperwork for school and getting the kids' transcripts together, I discovered that Nathaniel and Ben had more than enough credits to graduate as well! So we are graduating 4 kids! If you live nearby, We would love for you to come. I am so proud of the kids. After having a rough start in life they have really worked hard,(sometimes with me pushing) :) to get tot his day. So we are going to celebrate it with a bang.
“A number of years ago, I met a wise man who changed my life. In countless ways, large and small, I was always seeking the Lord’s blessing. I was saying, you know, I have a new song, look after it… I have a family, please look after them… I have this crazy idea… And this wise man said: stop. He said, stop asking God to bless what you’re doing. Get involved in what God is doing — because it’s already blessed.” – Bono
